Make Holiday Parking Easier for Your Team This Nights of Lights Season

Parking and traffic can be a real challenge during Nights of Lights, both for your customers and your employees. With crowded streets, limited spaces, and the holiday rush, getting your team to work on time can be tougher than ever.

To help ease the pressure, the City of St. Augustine now offers permanent and temporary workforce parking permits designed specifically for downtown businesses. These options make it easier for employees—especially those in hospitality, retail, and service roles—to get to work without the stress of hunting for parking.
